COLUMBIA, the gem of the ocean ! 
The home of the brave and the free ! 
The shrine of each patriot's devotion, 

A world offers homage to thee ; 
Thy mandates make heroes assemble. 

When Liberty's form stands in view, 
Thy banners make tyranny tremble, 

||:When borne by the red, white and blue,: 
Thy banners make tyranny tremble. 

When born by the red, white and blue. 

When war wing'd its wide desolation, 
Aud threaten'd the land to deform. 

The ark then of freedom's foundation, 
Columbia rode safe thro' the storm ; 

With the garlands of vdct'ry around her, 
When so proudly she bore her brave crew.

With her flag proudly floating before her. 
The boast of the red, white and blue. 

The star-spangled banner bring hither, 

O'er Columbia's true sons let it wave ; ' 
May the wreathes they have won never wither. 

Nor its stars cease to shine on the brave. 
May the service imited ne'er sever, 

But hold to their colors so true : 
The army and navy forever, 

II : Three cheers for the red, white and blue, : | 
The army and navy forever, 

Three cheers for the red, white and blue.

ARK OF FREEDOM.--" Austrian Hymn.' 



A RK of freedom, glory's dwelling. 
■^ Native land, God keep thee free ! 
When the storms are round thee swelling. 

Let thy heart be strong in thee ; 
God is with thee, wrong repelling, 

He alone thy champion be : 
.A.rk of freedom, glor)''s dwelling. 

Native land, God keep thee free. 

Land of high heroic .glor}' : 

Land whose touch bids slav'ry flee, 
Land whose name is writ in story, 

Rock and refuge of the free : 



Ours thy greatness, ours thy glory, 
We will e'er be true to thee : 

.\rk of freedom, glory's dwelling. 
Native land, God keep thee free. 

Vainly 'gainst thine arm contending. 

Tyrants know thy might and flee ; 
Freedom's cause on earth defending, 

Man has set his hopes on thee ; 
Widening glory, peace unending — 

Thy reward and portion be : 
Ark of freedom, glor\''s dwelling. 

Native land. God keep the free. 



FLAG OF THE FREE. Air— Lohengrin ' 



pLAG of the free, fairest to see ! 

■*• Borne thro' the .strife and the thunder of war; 

Banner so bright, with starry light, 

Float ever proudly from mountain to shore ; 
Emblem of freedom, hope to the slave, 
Spread thy fair folds but to shield and to save. 
While thro' the sky loud rings the cry, 
Union and Liberty ! One evermore. 



Wedding March." 

Flag of tile brave, long may it wave. 

Chosen of God while His might we adore. 
High in the van, for manhood of man. 

Symbol of right thro' the years passing o'er : 
Pride of our countrj', honored afar. 
Scatter each cloud that would dim but a star, 
While thro" the sky loud rings the cry. 
Union and Liberty ! One evermore. 



ADDRESS, 



;OHN A COYLE, ESQ. 



SINGING— "Star Spangled Banner" and " America"' • • 

STAR SPANGLE 
/^H, say, can you see by the dawn's early light, 
^^ What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last 

gleaming? 
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous 

fight. 
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly stream- 
ing? 
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting ii. air, 
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. 
II : Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave. 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? : || 

2. On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep. 
Where the foe's mighty host in dread silence reposes, 
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, 
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? 



Entire Audience Standing. 

5 BANNER. 

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam. 
In glory reflected now shines on the stream ; 
II : 'Tis the star-spangled banner : oh long may it wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. : || 

3. Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand 

Between their loved home and wild war's desolation ; 
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued 

land. 
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a 

nation. 
Then, conquer we nni.st, when our cause it is just. 
And this be our motto : "In God is our trust !" 
II : And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. : || 

Francis Scott Kev. 



jV/T Y country, 'tis of thee, 
^ Sweet land of liberty. 

Of thee I sing : 
Land where my fathers died, 
Land of the pilgrims' pride. 
From every mountain side 

Let freedom ring. 

M}' native countn,', thee. 
Land of the noble free. 

Thy name I love ; 
I love thy rocks and rills. 
Thy woods and templed hills. 
My heart with rapture thrills, 

Like that above. 



MY COUNTRY. 'TIS OF THEE. 



Let music swell the breeze. 
And ring from all the trees. 

Sweet freedom's .song ; 
Let mortal tongues awake. 
Let all that breathe partake. 
Let rocks their silence break. 

The sound prolong. 

Our fathers' God, to Thee, 
Author of liberty, 

To Thee we sing ; 
Long ma}' our land be bright 
With freedom's holy light. 
Protect us by Thy might. 

Great God, our King !
